My invention relates to brooder stoves.

The object of my invention is the produc tion of ra device of the character described, which will be capable `of utilizing a large percentage Yof the heat units usually escaping Without heat extraction, and of .evenly circulating the heat for a sutlicient length of ltime to thoroughly extract for utilization said heat units; which will have the additional effect of so circulatingsaid heat that i-t will not be influenced by strong currents or zdrafts, to such an extent as to cause the heat `producing means to become extinguished and .the object of :the brooder-,to ,be

T defeated; which will not cause the pipes and tl-ues to become so .clogged as to shutoff the even circulation of :the heat; which will preventithe draft becoming so strong as to overheat the space ysought to befevenly heated; which 'will 4be cheap in construction and manufacture, .and Aeasily manipulated, Aand efficient for the purposes intended.

@ther objects and novel features, of the invention will further 4appear from the specification, claims, and one-sheet accompanying draw-ing,1of which,

Figure 1 'is an elevation of the `device mounted on the fire pot, and `a ,part of the divisions :dotted-in; vFigure 2 is :a perspective view of the `device separate from the firezpot and showing the Acirculation :of the heat currents and fithe divisions .in `dotted-in portions; Figure 3 is a separate perspective View yof the fire pot. Y

Like characters of reference design ate like parts in all the figures.

The broeder stoves on the market today are aill, for practically all, subject to the 'very serious following objections: that 4of an irfregulanity of circulation; excessive Ydrafts and air currents which-cause theburnersto become ventinguisl'ied. "lVl-anytimcs, this happensf-atnight, lor lwhen noone is in immediate attendance at the broeder. lhiscauses the broodefrto become cold and the chicks to be chilled, and injured or actually frozen; another common trouble is the too great draft and the changing air currents which causes the heating means to overheat and to injure the chicks. l

It is believed these and other failures of the present brooder stoves are remedied by my invention. The application of the burner, whether of oil, gas, wood, coal, or other heat is not claimed as a part of this invention.

The device consists of a lire pot 2, on legs 1, having a door 3, with hinges l, holding same to the 4tire pot, controllec'l partially by openingl and Vshutting draft vent l) .the .door is fastened and opened by latch Y6 on lclasp 7.; the inside portionof Ithe lire pot is shown at 8 andthe cut-away portion -near :its upper edge is shown at 9. 1f() designates the supply pipe, (one mea-ns -of supplying fuel for the lheating of the stove) and 10a designates an over-dow pipe. The lower section ofthe heating drum lsurrounding the fire pot 1,2 is designated by 11 and has a .door 18,liinged at 19, 'and closed Aby latch 20, ion ,clasp 21; the upper section of the heatingdfluni 23 has a "door 2li, with hinges 25, v fastened with latch 26, and clasp .27 the division between the upper and flower-sectionsV is kshown by 22; the shoulder between the uappermportion of the fire pot 2 ,and lthe outeredges 30 iofthe central drum .in :the upper sections is :showin at 29, theiimjoining is shown at 28; theouter Wall of said upper central drum at 30; and the top of Ithe yde-vice at `3.1. Y

It will be seen upon the application of heat, `loy oil gas, coal, for .other fuel, in vthe lirerpot 2 andthe opening :o f the draft regulating means 5 the .heat current, from such style of heater as is :selected :will :ascend through the fire pot 2. Thelowverouterportion of heating drum '11 iwi-ll receive suclr'of the heat as is externally radiated `from tlie fire pot; the lower `fheatingdrum 11 Willalso receive such heat as is radiated therein from the outside of the `pipe portion of the -lire pot 2 and the heating drum -23 willfreeeive such heat asis .radiated therein from shoulder .V29 :and from the outside surface 30 of theinsidehea-ting drum. The lower section ofthe heating drum 11 Acauses a greater amount of .heat to .be radiated `towards the floor .which fis the space soughtl to k'he heated and Iif desired a flange may ybe fdepended downwardly and outwardly from `rits;outer "edge, .but this vfis fnot Y'claimed a part of this invention. The main part of the heat, however, will be received from the lire pot 2, through opening 9. The heat from that source enters the inside of heating drum 11 and strikes the outer Wall thereof opposite opening 9. It is prevented by baliie 13 from immediately entering the outer flue 17 from that direction and is forced to move along the lines of the arrow 12, inside said low-er section 11 and around the upper portion of the fire pot 2 in the direction further indillo cated by arrows 12, until the current strikes the other side of said heat balile 13 and is permitted to rise through opening 13a in division bet-Ween lower heating drum 11 and heating drum 23. Here it is again prevented by balfle 15 from immediately making exit from that point through pipe 1T and is forced to continue along the line indicated by arrows 14, around the upper central heating drum 3() until it strikes the opposite side of baffle 15 where it is now permitted to enter pipe 17 as it follows the line of arrows 16, 16, and passes out of pipe 17.

From the description and the accompanying one sheet drawing, and the specification, the advantages of constructtion, application and manufacture will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which my invention pertains. I have entered into a detailed description of the construction and relative arrangement of t-he parts embraced in the present and preferred embodiment of my invention in order to impart a full, clear and exact understanding of the said embodiment. l do not desire, however, to be understood as confining myself to the specific construction and relative arrangement of parts inasmuch as in the future practice of the invention various changes and modifications may be made such as fall within the scope of my invention as defined in vmy appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is:

1. A brooder stove of the character described and for the purposes stated, comprising a lire pot with an outer door and a draft control therein, an opening in its upper part, a second smaller heatingy drinn thereover, a third, and larger double and divided heating drum surrounding a portion of said lire pot and all of said second heating drum, an outer door in the lower and upper sections thereof, an upi'ight closed heat baille in the lower section, an opening in the partition between the said lower and upper sections; an upright closed heat baflle in the upper section, a flue, and an opening in the upper periphery of the said upper section entering same; all substantially as described.

2.
